On a warm sunny morning Beaconsfield Sycob Bulls lined up for their season opener against Upton Youth Cougars. Steve made several positional changes, Janni in goal,Lewis in defence and Ollie.G in midfield.
From the kick off the Bulls took charge of the game and some fine passing football created numerous chances and it seemed only a matter of time before the opening goal. But against the run of play Upton won a corner down the right and a well hit centre caused confusion in the Bulls backline but it was a cruel deflection that took the ball past Janni. Upton 1-0.
Last season this was have affected the Bulls but with growing maturity in their play they struck back quickly. First Ollie.P grabbed the equaliser with a fine solo effort drilling home at the near post and the same man bravely notched his brace with a volleyed finish after a clever pass from Ollie.G. Upton 1 - Sycob 2.
On the stroke of halftime a long clearance caught out the Bulls and the Upton striker raced clear to score. Halftime Upton 2 - Sycob 2.
The second half was one way traffic with almost continual Sycob pressure but a combination of bad luck and fine goalkeeping kept the scores level. On the rare occasion Upton threatened Lewis & Josh were strong at the back & Janni made a crucial one on one save.
Big J (Jureme) making his league debut offered strength & threat up front and Max, Jack , Callum, & both Ollie's passed the ball well creating lots of chances that on another day would have secured a comfortable Sycob win.
All in all it was an encouraging first match with lots of positives to take forward.
Well done guys !
